President Donald Trump has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, reportedly over frustrations with her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and failure to prosecute Trump's political opponents. The firing occurred Wednesday before Trump's Iran war speech, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche named as interim replacement. Trump has been considering EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin as permanent replacement. This marks Trump's second Cabinet-level firing after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last month. The dismissal follows months of conservative criticism over DOJ's handling of Epstein investigation files. Trump praised Bondi in a Truth Social post, saying she would transition to a private sector role. The firing highlights ongoing tensions within Trump's administration over Justice Department priorities and execution of his political agenda.
